This page contains details on the changes in MTG Studio from one version to another and an indicative roadmap for 2016.

Roadmap for 2016

add missing sets and cards

retrofit lots of missing promotional cards

implement "Check for Card Pool Update" feature. It will allow you to update the card database without the need to wait for the whole EXE+DB update. Usually I update the database every 2-3 weeks but the program releases are more rare. This leads to the effect of new sets delays

answer some forum threads which demand replies

answer some email chains which demand replies

consider a feature "Interim Sets" where MTGS users can add cards in an CSV file (with Excel) for example and those can be used as interim solution until MTGS gets its next database update

implement Repository. Repository will be a single file which will contain all user's:

decks

collections (can be more than one)

notes

imported prices

configuration

having support for Repository will allow the 3 top requested features to be supported

Ability to have multiple collection files [254 votes]

Collection report with prices [214 votes]

Collection automatically tracks quantities used up in decks [199 votes]

Please note that this roadmap is indicative but not carved in stone. There will be plenty of new features and supported sets which are not listed on thee roadmap but will also be added during the months.

Version 3.51 (pending)

Fixed bugs:

Fixed error in calculating descriptive statistics on a deck with only 1 card without power/toughness. "Access violation at address 0152ED3D in module 'mtgstudio.exe'. Read of address 00000000."

Fixed "Resource ED_KLD_C not found."

Fixed attempt to save a new deck in Desktop folder resulted in saving the deck in My Documents. Now it should be in Desktop folder.

Fixed loading of the card art. Previously not working due to Dropbox not supporting public folders any more.

Fixed adding cards from card pool or collection to deck was multiplying the card Qty instead of increasing it.

Fixed adding a card with X copies from deck to collection to instead of X copies in collection instead of 1.

Fixed display of Flip icon over the card art of cards which are not Flip cards.

Fixed each deck or sideboard Qty change in deck is immediately applied in-memory.

Changed the warning message 'Adding more than 20 cards in a single step can take some time.' to 'Adding more than 100 cards in a single step can take some time.' since it requires additional time and does not deal with stability in any way.

Small performance improvements (using in-memory literal constants).

Fixed Color column to be re-sizable after grouping.

Fixed Deck Availability report to count all reprints of a card.

Fixed an issue not allowing saving deck properties.
